Well, looking at the wrapper script at /usr/bin/qjackctl, if
pulseaudio is running and pasuspender is installed,
/usr/bin/qjackctl.bin is called via the latter, which will disable
Pulse for the duration of the process, regardless of what Pulse is
doing, which card it is accessing, etc. A very hacky solution, but
functional(ish).
